In Which I Make An Announcement

I hate Jersey. I’ve always hated New Jersey. There hasn’t been a single second of my entire life where I thought to myself “Boy I love New Jersey!”. I tried to get away years ago, and when that failed I swore that I would leave the second I was better. Well, I’m better now. It took over ten years and a hell of a lot of therapy/medication but I finally feel like my old self again. So I’m cashing in on my old promise and leaving.

The good news is that I’m not doing this alone. I have friends, dear friends in North Carolina who are helping me job/apartment hunt right now! I will have a full support system to back me up when things go bad, and to help me adjust to life in the south. It’s scary, but with friends at my side I’ll be able to do it.

The question is of course, when will I be moving. The answer is I’m…not too sure. I’m job hunting in both NJ and NC at the moment. Worse comes to worse I can get a job here and spend some time saving up money. But honestly I’m trying to move as soon as I can because, as stated before, I hate NJ.

I won’t be gone forever of course. I’ll be back for holidays and such. Will I stay in NC forever? I honestly don’t know. But it’s time for me to spread my roots and grow.

Side note: When I told my little cousin this news, he wistfully stared out a window and sighed “Life in the city sure is hard”. Nicky gets me.
